  • Title: Measuring molecular junctions: what is the standard?
    Author: Bumm LA.
    Journal: ACS Nano; 2008 Mar; 2(3):403-7. PubMed ID: 19206563.
    Abstract:
    Accurate measurements of electronic properties of molecular junctions are important for both fundamental and practical applications. Often the molecule-electrode contacts are poorly characterized, leading to wide variation in the measured resistance values. A new paper in this issue demonstrates the use of a reference molecule as an internal standard to compensate for the varying conditions of the molecular contact in conductive-tip atomic force microscopy measurements and yields consistent resistances relative to the reference despite variations in absolute resistance.
